Voice Online

Layout

The layout on this page starts with a banner on the top of the page showing the logo the website and the website as well as a banner this clearly separates the

Navigation
On the homepage for this website there are four different columns. There is a noticeable amount a space between the different subheadings of each subheading.

Content
Under each subheading there is a small paragraph ended with an ellipsis at the end of each. In addition to that there are pictures below each subheading. In the fourth column there is a space specifically for advertisement as well as that in the third column the sites purpose is to promote musicians, there is also a section for multimedia that has 2 videos on show.

Design/colour
The colour scheme for this is simply red and white but for each subheading there is a highlight of one different colour


Audience
I would think this website would attract a young audience maybe from the mid teenage upwards. Promoting young music talent, giving information on carnivals, entertain and sport nearer the top of the homepage gives of that it is for a young audience. In addition to this the fact that the more serious topic are nearer the bottom of the page show that the site is not targeting adults.

Analysis of Standard evening News program

This is the Standard evening website homepage


Layout
The layout of this page is packed with sections of information including a healthy sentence under each picture, subheading and video giving the user a good source of information before they actually click on the link above it. Because of this the homepage is very big.

Navigation
Because of the amount of text on the page navigation is not the greatest for some people unlike other news websites a lower percentage of the text on the page is actually linked to another page.

Content
There is a very large amount of content on the homepage of this site include a large amount of pictures, text, videos and answer boxes for questions of their interest. They have import and helpful information on every subject they talk about in this website for example as the world cup is going on there is an update to table showing all results as they know it is in the vast majorities interest. They also have many sub heading; news, entertainment, sports, business, life style, sponsored links, promotions, comment and opinion and games.

Design/Colour
The colour of the background of the page is white and the text is black showing a sense of seriousness; however a touch orange is also part of the theme colour as well as that a few other bright colour are use on the topic such as sport entertainment and so on. It is quite clear this is done to show the contrast between the seriousness between the more business/political type of information and the more fun type of topics, in other word these colours put a line between the two.

Audience
Because there is such a variety of data types and so many topics of variety a wide audience will be attached to this website site. Nevertheless this is within the UK because

Layout
There is a banner at the top of the page showing the sky news logo and other important notices, there is also a link on top of that page linking to sky.com. The main page is split into six sections; the header footer a small section nearer the top of the page for videos and three columns as the main structure of the page.

Navigation
There are a lot of links in organised positions on the page. Although there is a lot of information it is rather easy to skim through the information.

Content
On the header there are important things which allow the user to see immediately for example the logo, the search engine and so on. There are videos showing the top stories at the specific time also with a link to live news. In the main part of the site in other words the bulk, there is a lot of useful information as well as links to blogs, promotion of subjects within the company as well as other companies linked to them, sports information, weather and many links to the latest news. As well as this they have section called ‘sky news extra’, ‘editors pick’ in addition to that a ‘gallery’ section. Rather having one section of each subject they have many sections in different parts of the page. All of these things add more interest to the site.

Design/Colour
The header black with white text while the majority of the background of page is white with black text, apart from that there are some grey areas on the page. All of these colours are rather bland and simple showing a sense of seriousness. In addition to that everything on the page is structured again showing significance of the page.

Audience
Adults will be the main attraction for this website especially the employed, as the site provides useful information about all types of social news in the working world.

As well as this it has links to other pages (News, Sport, Weather, TV, Radio ect.).

Design/Colour
The BBC website background theme colours are green, which represent the world cup. This shows that BBC keeps us to date with the news in all parts of the world. The actual theme colour that BBC use is a red colour, but to keep the theme in tune with the time of day they tend to change the colour to a bright colour in the morning and a darker colour in the evening.

Audience
BBC has an all round audience because there are many different sections and there are different forms of media displaying the information e.g. text, videos…
